Bag theft is a real threat, according to statistics we gathered 1 in 3 women in the UK has had their handbag stolen; nearly three-quarters (72%) of women expressed fear of having their handbag stolen and in the US the greatest known cause of Identity Theft is when your wallet, purse or checkbook is stolen.
Knowing that there is a risk of theft and understanding the methods used and the places where theft can occur goes a long way towards avoiding becoming a victim yourself, but for true peace of mind you should consider purchasing a bag which has anti-theft features. The bags made by Pacsafe feature anti-theft features such as eXomesh slashguard panels, slashproof straps, snatchproof anchor clips and tamperproof zippers.
eXomesh Slashguard panels – many thefts succeed when the exposed lower section of a bag is slashed allowing the contents to drop out without the victim being aware that a theft has taken place. Pacsafe have developed slashproof panels by discretely hiding a layer of eXomesh between two layers of fabric. These lightweight slashguards are placed in vulnerable sections of the bag, providing protection against a bag slasher’s knife blade.
Slashproof straps and belts – A split second whilst looking at a map or asking for directions is all it takes to cut through a conventional strap or belt. To ensure your bag stays with you Pacsafe straps and belts are embedded with slashproof, high-tensile stainless steel wire.
Snatchproof anchor clips and locks – When traveling, commuting or out with friends enjoying a meal or drink, you’re not always able to keep a close eye on your belongings. In an instant someone can take your bag without you knowing. That’s why Pacsafe have designed products with snatchproof metal clips on their slashproof straps. These can be looped through a secure fixture, such as the arm of your restaurant chair, bus seat or poolside lounger, making it impossible for someone to walk away with your belongings.
Tamperproof zippers and compartments – Subways, busy sidewalks and crowded markets are prime pickpocket locations. Pacsafe products have tamperproof solutions to thwart pickpockets including zippers that lock closed or latch to a spring-loaded metal clip. Pacsafe bags with flap covered compartments offer hidden safety hooks for added security to keep prying hands out of your bag.
